Through weekend workshops at colleges, we teach the next generation of computer science students
how to participate in open source communities. The workshop is a collaboration with existing
on-campus computing groups so that open source becomes a lasting part of campus culture.

We empower women and their friends to learn practical programming in a beginner-friendly environment.
By integrating the workshop into existing Python user groups, we retain attendees and build gender
diversity into the main community.

We help projects organize a virtual newcomers night on IRC.
When you create a space for newcomers,
curious users step up and ask technical
questions about becoming involved. Read about our successes
and how to run one for your project.
